New Brunswick Faculty Council

The New Brunswick Faculty Council (NBFC) is a deliberative body consisting of faculty representatives elected by each Rutgers unit (i.e., departments and schools) of Rutgers University-New Brunswick. It is a key shared governance body from which the New Brunswick Chancellor seeks and receives advice on issues affecting and relevant to the New Brunswick faculty and campus (see here, Section I for further detail). The NBFC meets roughly monthly during the academic year.
